And boom. Sandra Bullock blows our minds yet again at the Tokyo premiere of her hit movie Gravity—this time in a killer little red dress. But then again, we already know that Sandra has always killed it on the red carpet. Even in its simplicity, the Oscar winner's frock makes a bold statement: the delicate cap sleeves, the intricate origami folds at the neckline, and the slightly varied poppy shade of red. Gorge. Sandra accessorized with subtle details: a few gold bangles and classic black pumps. While I wouldn't say no to a more architectural heel to go with the structure of the dress, I think she looks divine, as usual. A stunning and versatile piece to steal for the holiday season—as an office (under a blazer or cardigan with tights) to cocktails look, maybe—and add to Nikki's three essential party-piece collection, of course.

You don't want to go into Gravity cocky about your skills as a theatergoer, that's for sure. You need to prep. Here's how: 1. I advise a pop-culture intensity cleanse up to 12 hours beforehand. My poor husband had to endure Gravity just after finishing Breaking Bad. I think I nearly killed the man. You need to fill your day with nothing but old Friends eps and the new Icona Pop album before settling in for this one. 2. Approach the Imax option with caution. This movie feels like Imax even in its standard format, so unless you are a serious 3-D junkie or have trained at NASA, you might want to consider keeping things simple. 3. Hey, did you bring your chatty friend to the theater? GET RID OF HER. Not, like, in a violent way. Just send her off to see Runner Runner, or Cloudy With read more
